Taylor Swift Performs, Wins Big at 2011 CMAs
Taylor Swift had a big night on Wednesday, when she attended the 2011 Country Music Awards. Swift not only performed flawlessly (as per usual), but picked up the show's biggest honor of the night: Entertainer of the Year!
The country cutie changed out of her fancy dress and high heels, into jeans and a plain long-sleeve shirt (and no shoes) to give a rare performance of the song Ours, a bonus track from her latest album Speak Now. She received a standing ovation from the audience, which included big country names like Blake Shelton and Tim McGraw, as well as Nashville native Reese Witherspoon. Check it out!:

Swift's Entertainer of the Year presentation was the last highlight of the night. She was the only female nominated in the category. However, Swift is no stranger to the big honor, as she won the same award in 2009, becoming the youngest singer to ever do so. While giving her acceptance speech, the 21-year-old could barely contain her excitement, and gave a huge thank you to all the artists who supported her on tour this year by coming out to various dates.
Other big winners were country power couple Shelton and his wife Miranda Lambert, who won Male and Female Vocalists of the Year, and The Band Perry, who won New Artist of the Year, as well as awards for Best Song and Best Single of the Year for If I Die Young.
Are you surprised Taylor took home the big win - or did you expect it?! And what did you think of her performance!?
